The female sex cell starts out with a full 46 chromosomes. In the process of maturation to be a gamete for reproduction, that cell becomes a haploid having only 23 chromsomes. The normal compliment of 46 is required for true parthenogenesis, and it does happen in nature, always yielding a female offspring. If one removes a diploid and stimulates it into mitosis, reproduction of an individual human being is in evidence. Exploiting such derived individuals is the same as exploiting a fertilization derived individual. The key is the goal of the exploiter ... the individual will not be allowed to grow to term or in the case of forced mitosis of a haploid cannot grow to term. The use of cells from such a derived haploid is problematic, at best.

Okay, why don't you just stop beating around the bush and come out and say that you don't like any of this research and you think all of it should be banned out right? With this definition, you've ruled out any multiplication of any human cells at all, including adult stem cells, adult organ cells, and the cells from underneath your toenails - any experiment that involves replicating any human cells in any sort of artificial way is rendered out of bounds by your sweepingly broad definition here....
